I used to take all sizes on as well! lol. But these days if I’m gonna take knitting needles on I go for circular ones (even when I’m working a straight pattern. They are much less intimidating looking and easier to maneuver in small spaces.

I think I’ve even brought the small kindergarten safety scissors on a plane or two with me, but yes, nail clippers are just as effective!

If in doubt you can always check the airlines website under security or call (that’s how I found out I could bring knitting needles on the plane after 9/11).

Thu, 07 Aug 2014 19:22:10 +0000http://www.crochetspot.com/?p=23486#comment-2092247Great idea. I haven’t flown in awhile but always take my crocheting on train trips. Taking a trip later in Oct & did not think I would take my crocheting b/c I don’t relax well flying; but may try to see if I can get thru security with a hook & yarn. It would take my mind off the flying.

Amy, surprised that knitting needles were allowed & not crochet hooks. Would think the needles more of an issue than the hooks … go figure! (grin)

Tue, 05 Aug 2014 08:44:05 +0000http://www.crochetspot.com/?p=23486#comment-2086338I love to crochet during travel. Yes, in india too in air travel very often the security is erratic as some one allows hooks but others do not so I pack my stuff in the luggage. I also sheets of patterns as often it’s easier to work from a paper alongside the pool, in the lobby etc.
In fact when on a holiday I make smaller stuff like bags, scarves, caps and at the moment am working on a smart scarflette to match my black outfits.

Tue, 05 Aug 2014 03:15:19 +0000http://www.crochetspot.com/?p=23486#comment-2085733Some years back I worked on a shawl for my Grandmother while returning by air from a business meeting. Had a lovely conversation with the flight attendant about the project. I’m becoming more encouraged about bringing a project along for a future flight.

I have taken driving trips where I brought along yarn to make afghan squares. Hid my extra money in the bag where I kept my project. Used the same interesting 8″ square pattern with many different combinations of colors (3 per square). A friend was getting married at the end of the summer; this project took an entire summer to complete but was well worth it. (Darn, but I lost the pattern for that square during a move. The principle I’ve used in many other projects.)

Mon, 04 Aug 2014 22:42:43 +0000http://www.crochetspot.com/?p=23486#comment-2085337Thank you so much for this information, I wish I had had it back in June when my daughter and
son-in-law and I flew to Ireland for 9 days. I tried and tried to figure out how I could take my crochet
with me but in the end I had to leave it behind and let me tell you that is a long time to go without
crocheting.Now thanks to you I will know how to take it next time we fly somewhere. Love your blog.

Rose

Mon, 04 Aug 2014 16:48:16 +0000http://www.crochetspot.com/?p=23486#comment-2084631I often travel on AMTRAK and always take at least 1 crochet project with me. I have a set of cards called, “Crochet blocks in a box,” with 50 different crochet blocks to learn that’s designed for travel that I save for this. It’s simple to tuck in a card or 2 along with my hooks and yarn, etc. and go.

Mon, 04 Aug 2014 16:32:40 +0000http://www.crochetspot.com/?p=23486#comment-2084601Several years ago, an unexpected weather delay caused me to wait for a connecting plane in a large airport for eight hours. Fortunately I had my hook and yarn with me, which kept me calm and occupied. I don’t what I crocheted, but I was calm and relaxed. I agree with your advice! Warmly,
Julia in NY

Mon, 04 Aug 2014 16:27:28 +0000http://www.crochetspot.com/?p=23486#comment-2084588I travel about every other year across country by plane and I always take my crocheting with me. I use cheap plastic hooks and carry the dental floss, as my cutter. I make preemie hats and chemo hats, so the simple patterns are in my head. The only time I had problems was at the Indiapolis Airport, I had a carryon full of I Love this Cotton by Hobby Lobby, and the TSA guys took all of the yarn out searched it and put it back and then took it out again. They never explained why but the guy behind me kept saying..”ooh yarn, that is a dangerous weapon”. I also carry a copy of items allowed by the TSA with me. My crochet supplies and yarn are more important than snacks.
